“Fußball trifft Kultur” turns 15 years old

Two weeks ago, we celebrated the 15th anniversary of “Fußball trifft Kultur” together with our friends and supporters.
We are taking this as an opportunity to look back on the success story in a short flashback.

Together, more than 250 of our teachers and coaches have been able to support over 3,600 children on their educational journey.
The special thing about “Fußball trifft Kultur” was its socially sustainable focus from the very beginning: firstly, our program participants take part in the program for two years.
Over this period, the children receive over 17,000 minutes of support through our triad of language, soccer and culture.
Secondly, the program does not provide selective impulses, but supports the children in the groundbreaking two years before and after the transition from primary to secondary school.

Although “Fußball trifft Kultur” has already been running for 15 years and has always served a great need, the program has never been as relevant as it is today in the wake of the continuous and increasing educational shortcomings in Germany – “Fußball trifft Kultur” makes a targeted contribution to compensating for the everyday building blocks of children and young people that have been significantly lost or neglected even during the pandemic.
The holistic approach to school improvement, exercise and social interaction offers children a toolbox for their further personal development.

The overarching goal of “Fußball trifft Kultur” will always remain to make an important post for more educational equality and equal opportunities in Germany.
Many thanks to all our partners who support us on this journey!
